Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

As expected, all the scholars in Kyoto went crazy scrambling for it.

The stock printed by the two bookstores in the morning was sold out in less than a quarter of an hour.

Then many people were even willing to pay a high price at the auction just to see the "Collection of Prayer Essays" in advance.

Then at noon, you can see strange scenes on the streets.

There was a group of scholars, all holding collections of essays, swaying their heads and reading poems on the street.

Some of these people are simply obsessed with the contents of the collection and can't put it down.

Some do it to show off.

The "Collection of Prayers for a Good Harvest" that can be purchased in advance is a symbol of strength.

But no matter what their purpose is.

The sound of reciting the collection of essays could indeed be heard everywhere on the streets of Kyoto.

It can be said that "wherever there is water, the collection of essays is read", which shows how popular this "Collection of Essays on Prayer for a Good Harvest" is.

The literary world of Qing Dynasty has truly ushered in a golden age that has not been seen in a century.

......

The imperial palace, the bedroom.

Emperor Qing was wearing pajamas.

Having stayed up so late last night, he has been plodding along today and doesn't want to get up.

Emperor Qing was holding a collection of essays in his hand, and was reading the article "The Great Learning" written by Li Chengyuan yesterday.

Emperor Qing has read this article many times.

But he still likes to read, and the more he reads, the more he enjoys it.

A lot of the content in it is worth his repeated study.

Of course, the more Emperor Qing read, the more frightened he became.

Peeping the leopard in the tube!

Just from this article "The Great Learning", we can see how strong Li Chengyuan's talent in governing the country is!

If Li Chengyuan had succeeded to the throne, the Kingdom of Qing might really have had a different future.

But alas...

Emperor Qing didn't know how many times he had sighed.

It’s a pity that he is Ye Qingmei’s son.

For the sake of his own reputation after death, Emperor Qing could not take the risk of letting Li Chengyuan succeed to the throne.

Even Emperor Qing did not dare to let Li Chengyuan die after him.

Otherwise, with Li Chengyuan's talent and reputation, if he knew the truth about Ye Qingmei's death, he would be so angry that he might write something that would damage his reputation, and he would also be infamous for eternity.

The words of scholars can kill people!

Emperor Qing is very clear about this.

It seems that he must be sent as an envoy to Northern Qi as soon as possible!

There was regret in Emperor Qing's eyes, but he was extremely determined in his heart.

"His Majesty!"

At some point, Eunuch Hou came over.

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has already discussed it. Please review it!"

Eunuch Hou handed over a memorial.

Emperor Qing took it, flipped through it, and nodded, saying, "This is it. Have the Hanlin Academy draft the imperial edict immediately. Once it's ready, you will go to Prince Li's mansion and read it out!"

"Old slave obeys!"

"By the way, did the assassination last night yield any results?"

"Your Majesty, we still haven't found any clues!"

Emperor Qing's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "What about Prince Li's Mansion?"

"Your Majesty! There's no problem at Prince Li's mansion either. Last night, the Third Prince got drunk and was sent directly back to the mansion. He never left.

Everyone in the mansion is here, including Miss Bluebird, and no one has left!"

Emperor Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. This matter ends here. There is no need to investigate further. You may leave now!"

"Yes!"

.......

Changxin Palace.

The entire day today, there was a panic in Changxin Palace.

He has been in a state of rage since Princess Li Yunrui returned from the dinner party last night.

Many people are aware of the eldest princess's crazy personality.

But it is extremely rare to see someone as furious as he is today.

So the maids in Changxin Palace were trembling with fear all day long, fearing that they would be executed by the angry princess.

Even Li Yunrui's personal maid didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Finally, after venting for half a day and being exhausted, Li Yunrui slowly regained his composure.

Li Yunrui's mood changed quickly.

Her face was as cold as ice just now, but in the instant she was smiling like a flower.

She called her personal maid and instructed with a faint smile, "Send Zhuang Mohan out of the city quietly as soon as possible, and don't let anyone notice!"

"Yes!"

Li Yunrui said to himself, "Oh, Li Chengyuan said that before he goes on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi, he wants to kick me out of Kyoto. You know what, I'm really scared, haha! So I have to be careful, Kai!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We have always been careful in our work and we guarantee there will be no problems!"

"Yeah!" Li Yunrui nodded and said, "By the way, I heard there was an assassin in the palace last night?"

“Yes, I heard that he was stopped by Eunuch Hong, but he escaped from Eunuch Hong’s hands!”

"He escaped from Eunuch Hong's clutches?" Li Yunrui asked in surprise. "Hong Sixiang is the most mysterious Grandmaster in the palace, right? How could an assassin escape from him?"

Haha, things are really getting more and more interesting!"

Chapter 154 Zhuang Mohan admits his mistakes and corrects them! Li Chengyuan is promoted to Prince!

outside of Kyoto.

A carriage quietly left the city.

The driver was a middle-aged man.

The man was wearing a plain sweatshirt, but from his eyes, manners and temperament, it could be seen that he had practiced martial arts and was definitely not an ordinary coachman.

The man drove the carriage and traveled low-key. He soon left the vicinity of the city gate and entered the mountains and forests.

Then, at a certain moment, a dark shadow fell from the sky.

The man was horrified and was about to draw his sword, but was knocked unconscious by a palm.

Afterwards, two more people came out of the woods.

"How about it?"

"At least the strength of the sixth rank!"

"He's no ordinary coachman!" Gong Yu, who was dressed in black and masked, glanced at the man and said to the night watchman Jinluo Zhenping, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It should!"

"Help me keep watch!"

"Yes!"

Zhen Ping nodded, then sat on the shaft of the carriage, and asked his subordinate Yinluo to be on guard around.

Gong Yu entered the carriage.

After entering, he saw Zhuang Mohan with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

"Who are you?" Zhuang Mohan asked with a frown.

Gong Yu sat down at the door and said calmly, "Hello, Mr. Zhuang. I am a guest of the Third Prince!"

"Third Prince?" Zhuang Mohan was startled for a moment, then his expression relaxed slightly. He asked curiously, "Did the Third Prince ask you to come and settle accounts with me?"

"Yes and no!" Gong Yu said, "The Third Prince wants me to ask you, are you willing to admit your mistake?"

Zhuang Mohan sighed and said, "To be honest, I have lived an upright life. It's just that I did something despicable this time, and it makes me feel a little upset.

But fortunately, Lord Fan is extremely talented and did not let me succeed, otherwise I would have lived in guilt for the rest of my life!

In fact, after hearing the three prince's four words in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests that day, I already felt a little regretful.

It's just a pity that I was so angry at the time that I couldn't express myself!"

Gong Yu said: "It's not too late for you to speak now!"

Zhuang Mohan asked, "I wonder what the Third Prince wants me to say?"

Gong Yu said, "The Third Prince wants you to confess the entire story of you and Li Yunrui colluding to frame Yan Bingyun, rescue Xiao En, and frame Fan Xian!"

Zhuang Mohan was startled.

"How does the Third Prince know this?"

"Don't ask me that!" Gong Yu said, "The Third Prince only wants to ask you, have you acknowledged your mistakes? Are you willing to correct them?"

Zhuang Mohan was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said, "No one is perfect. Who can be without mistakes? It is a great virtue to be able to correct one's mistakes!"
